You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don’t get in the #Titan ?

Don’t get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

      I’d love to, but there’s no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

        Check out Revolt, it’s basically a Discord clone without the bullshit. Matrix is getting close to being full replacement, but still lacks some features.

        Guilded or Revolt seem like good alternatives if you can convince your entire community to move over, might still have privacy issues but I’m not really sure.

          Moving to a different closed source platform feels pointless at this point, but maybe Lemmy is spoiling me

            This right here. Honestly, if we’re taking the time to hop platforms and start bolstering the next wave of popular sites and services, why make the same mistake again as the last time around?

            No matter how much a company talks about how ethical they want to be or how much they value doing the right thing for their clients, once money enters the picture on a wider scale and people start looking in the direction of an eventual IPO, everything goes to shit.

            Meanwhile, IRC is still working just fine. No degradation of services after decades. You can still throw your own ircd up on a $3/mo VPS and be golden.

            Moving everything to open source, decentralized platforms can only be a boon for all of us in the long run. Anything less is just kicking the problem down the road a little.

      Unfortunately, Discord can’t be replaced right now. All my gaming friends are using it and I don’t see any FOSS software that can replace it right now.

        Irc + mumble used to be my goto 15 years ago. It would still work, but understandably a bit less refined

      If you care about keeping your data private then why are you on the fediverse? Everything here is public. Anyone can datamine if they want. And you can’t even delete your data if you want (since there are backups on different instances). Even your DM’s can be read by the admins of your or the recipients instance.

        That’s the purpose of public forum. There is a difference between Fediverse selling your data and someone scraping comments you made publicially. They also offer Send Secure Message if the user has added their Matrix handle. Which offers E2E by default for private messages.

        I also believe the delete issue was resolved, but not sure if it was merged already.

        It’s best to just assume that anything posted to the internet is public.

        There are some apps that have end to end encryption, but beyond that anything you type into these sites is basically public.

      Damn this site is great! Shame I never heard of it before. One thing I love about the fediverse is the amount of actual useful info being shared in more general communities instead of just focused communities.

      Honestly, I’d leave Discord if I could back up my chat history. I have a chat with my boyfriend going on for two years.
